Given:
M=-5 and (-3,-2).
To find:
The equation in the form 
.
Solution:
The slope intercept form of a line is
...(i)
where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.
We have m=-5. Putting m=-5 in (i), we get
...(ii)
We have a point (-3,-2). Putting x=-3 and y=-2 in (ii), we get
So, the value of b is -17.
Putting b=-17 in (ii), we get
Therefore, the required equation is .
3/5 = 6/10 = 6×(1/10)
The piece will be divided into <em>6 sections</em> of 1/10 yard each.
7) 116.6666666≈116.67
8) 138.6666666≈138.67
9) 42.1428571
10) 64.6666666≈64.67
This rule is known as PEMDAS
In an algebraic equation follow PEMDAS
P= first calculate anything with parantheses
E= then calculate anything with exponents
M= calculate any multiplication
D= calculate any division
A= calculate any addition
S= calculate any subtraction
you must do these in that order
hope this helps:)
